This low carb pumpkin mousse is a great alternative to pumpkin pie as a dessert and can be made in under 15 minutes.
This delicious and creamy pumpkin mousse dessert is quick and easy to make. It tastes like a light pumpkin cheesecake filling and is nice served with chocolate chips and whipped cream. You could even serve the mouse in layers in between whipped cream..yum!
Although I used pumpkin spice from a jar you could easily make your own. A great blend for pumpkin spice is 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon all spice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix them up and voila! You have pumpkin spice! I've found that in my travels that a jar of pumpkin spice is not always readily available so it's always good to have a good home blend mix as a back up. Plus, it gives you a good edge when guests enjoy this pumpkin mousse and you say "pumpkin spice from a jar? No, I make my own". Or that's possibly a way to lose friends!
This pumpkin mousse recipe is just so easy that you could happily play about with it too. Add some chopped peanut nuts perhaps? Or a swirl of cream or chocolate? I usually serve this pumpkin mouse with a scattering of low carb chocolate chips.

Absolutely delicious! For extra flavour and general awesomeness, use leftover roast squash. I also used the sweetener allulose, my new fave sweetener- no aftertaste whatsoever. This dessert is also very easy to prepare and is lick the bowl gorgeous. For people in the UK, I used half Bart's Mixed Spice and half ground cinnamon. A great combo for pumpkin.
Glad you enjoy the recipe Alice!
Oh dear.
I was so excited . Thought of serving this unusual desert this coming weekend.
So sorry to read the negative remarks. I'll try it to test. Then i'll rather comment.
Made this and it was disgusting. Sorry but there is absolutely no sweetness to it whatsoever. Nothing like cheesecake and it is by far the nastiest thing I've ever tasted ever. Use pumpkin pie filling or something with sweetness the puree alone is awful. Sorry but I spent the money to make this and threw it in the trash immediately. I followed the recipe exactly. Im very sorry, not trying to be rude but I was very disappointed.
That's a shame you didn't like it.
Any chance you know the nutritional breakdown? Mostly, the total carbs?
Hi Julie. The net carbs are 4g per portion. Hope you enjoy it!
no sweetener???
No, I found the pumpkin puree and cream cheese sweet enough. Feel free to add a dash of sweetner if you want to though!
Sounds lovely. There is always room for one more pumpkin dessert.
LOL! So very true!
So is that supposed to be a 1 cup of heavy cream?
Yes Pat. We call it double cream, it is referred to as heavy cream. Creamy goodness either way!
